You basically will need to go down about 18cm and then put a base of hardcore down, this then needs to be rolled.
After which two layers of tarmac will need to be laid. The basecoat and then a top finishing layer.

Your be looking at about £25+ p/s/m just for the tarmac.

I did all the ground work myself, putting the hardcore down and the edging kerb stones, rolling it, etc.
I then got someone from a tarmac company to lay the two layers as a foreigner.

The altenative is to concrete it rather than tarmac, i guess that is equally expensive, if not more so?

I would bet it would be near the same price. But concrete has its advantages. First, it is much more durable if laid properly. You can include recycled products in it such as rubber and glass to cut down cost. And best of all, when the sun beats down on it in the summer it doesn't radiate 500° heat into your home and surrounding area and escalate your cooling bill.

I'd say it was a 35 degree incline.

Thanks

35 degrees! if it rains and you have tarmac you'll never get your car up there!

dmpoole - thats quite some work for 2 people in a week. I'm pretty sure its not your normal line of work, nice job!

We also had another bloke with us who always works with him.
I've had this last week off so helped where I can (lots of tea).
It's over a week, the wall was done last thursday & friday but the pair of them go off to other jobs they are doing as well.
I've never seen 2 people work so hard.

That caravan has been there for the 26 years we've been there and it has given me a lot of privacy.
I have always sat behind the window to the left of the door and the caravan has blocked my computing habits from passers by
